I have taken a beating on this one over the last few weeks, averaged down some as the stock was sinking. it seems to have been (overly) beaten up alot over this oil spill,as they had something like a 25 percent stake in the BP Horizon oil rig. I hope the new "top hat" fix is in place soon, it should spike this one back up to the low sixties if it works!
